Welcome to Wild Moon

First of all… I’m so freaking excited you’re here.

You’ve been selected for an October Creative Session, and I can’t wait to have you in the studio.

These sessions are a little different from a traditional Wild Moon experience because we’re not only creating incredible images for you — we’re also creating content for the next era of Wild Moon.

That means you may see a camera rolling behind the scenes, we’ll capture pieces of your experience, and we’ll ask you to share a little about how you felt before and after your session.

But here’s the important part:

You are still being taken care of from start to finish.

You don’t need to know how to pose, what to wear, or what the hell you’re supposed to do in front of a camera. That’s my job.

This guide is here to answer your questions, walk you through what to expect, and help you feel prepared before you walk through the studio doors.

You’ll find everything you need to know about preparing for your session, wardrobe, hair + makeup, what to bring, what happens when you arrive, and what to expect during your reveal.

You can use the Wild Moon client closet, bring your own pieces, or do a combination of both. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out ahead of time.

Your job is simple:

Show up. Trust me. Let me take care of the rest.

I’m so excited to create with you and to have you be part of what’s next for Wild Moon.

Let’s do this.

1. Read through this guide

Everything you need to know to prepare for your session is right here.

2. Start thinking about wardrobe

Use the Wild Moon client closet, bring your own pieces, or mix both.

3. Have questions?

Email me anytime.

4. Show up.

I’ll take care of the rest.

Stretch It Out

Beautiful makeup starts with healthy skin.

This might sound funny, but seriously... start stretching!

Boudoir is basically yoga in lingerie. 😅 You'll be arching, pointing your toes, balancing on one leg, and moving your body in ways you probably don't every day.

Spend a few minutes stretching your back, hips, legs, calves, and even your feet. (Trust me... I've seen plenty of foot cramps over the last 8 years.)

Take Care of Your Skin

In the Weeks Before Your Session

Do:

Drink plenty of water

Moisturize daily

Exfoliate your face and body 1–2 times a week

Keep your lips hydrated

Avoid:

At-home self tanner

Trying new skincare products

Tretinoin or harsh exfoliants right before your session

If you want a tan, I highly recommend booking with a professional spray tan artist a few days before your session.

Hair, Nails & Self-Care

Treat yourself—you deserve it.

If you're planning to color your hair, do it about a week before your session. I also recommend a fresh manicure and pedicure (neutral colors always photograph beautifully).

If you wax, dermaplane, or shave, schedule it a few days beforehand to give your skin time to settle.

WHAT TO BRING

Remember you don't need to buy a whole new wardrobe.

Your session includes access to our 600+ piece client closet (XS–6X), and I'll help style everything once you're here.

If you'd like to bring a few personal pieces, I recommend:

1–2 outfits you already love

A pair of heels (optional)

Jewelry or accessories

A nude or black strapless bra

Sentimental items like a partner's shirt, jersey, veil, leather jacket, books, flowers, or anything uniquely you

A Quick Lingerie Tip

Leave the baby dolls at home.

I know they're comfy and they feel "safe," but they hide your shape on camera.

Instead, think:

Bodysuits

Matching bra & panty sets

Teddies

Lace

High-waisted sets

Oversized button-downs

Your favorite jeans

Don't stress if you don't have much—that's exactly why the client closet is here.

Bridal Sessions

Bring any bridal details you'd love to include:

Veil

Wedding shoes

Jewelry

Bouquet or a few stems

Garter

Dress or sleeves

Anything sentimental from your wedding day

AJ's Favorite Places to Shop

If you decide to add a few pieces to your wardrobe, here are some of my favorites:

Lounge

Honey Birdette

Intimissimi

Bluebella

Adore Me

Savage X Fenty

Love, Vera

Torrid

Amazon

Shein

Remember you absolutely do not need to go shopping before your session. The client closet has hundreds of options waiting for you.

SESSION DAY

Your session begins at 9:00 AM at our private studio in Cabot, Arkansas. Take the day off, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, and let today be all about you—we've got the rest covered.

Before You Arrive

Please eat breakfast! Seriously. You'll be moving a lot more than you expect, and you'll feel so much better with some fuel in your system. (No, breakfast won't make you look bigger in your photos. I promise.)

Before you head to the studio:

Clean, dry hair & a clean face (no makeup)
Exfoliate, moisturize, and shave if needed
Wear loose, comfy clothes to avoid marks on your skin
Bring an open mind—we'll take care of everything else.

Shoot Day Timeline

This is what your Creative Session will look like from start to finish.

9:00–9:15 AM | Before Session Interview

We’ll start with a quick before-session interview before hair + makeup. Nothing formal or intimidating — just a few questions about how you’re feeling going into the experience.

9:15–10:45 AM | Hair & Makeup

Grab a coffee (or tea!), settle in, and let our professional hair and makeup artist work her magic. We’ll chat about the look you’re going for while you relax.

10:45–11:00 AM | Wardrobe Styling

We’ll head into the client closet, pull your looks, and work in anything you’re bringing from home. I’ll help you choose pieces that photograph beautifully so you don't have to figure it all out yourself.

11:00 AM–12:00 PM | Your Photoshoot

Now for the fun part.

I’ll guide you through every pose from head to toe, so you never have to wonder what to do. We’ll move through your looks and sets while capturing your images and some behind-the-scenes content for the next era of Wild Moon.

You don't need to know what you're doing — that's my job. Just relax, trust me, and let me guide you.

12:00–12:45 PM | Image Selection + Reveal

Once we're finished shooting, we'll sit down together to view your images and choose your favorites.

Your Creative Session includes 3 digital images of your choice. If you decide you'd like additional images or artwork, we'll go over those options during your reveal.

Your gallery won't be fully retouched yet that happens after your images are selected and purchased but you'll still be able to see your images and start choosing your favorites.

12:45–1:00 PM | Final Interview

We'll wrap up with a quick after-session interview about your experience and how you're feeling now that you've seen your images.

One thing we'll cover during your planning consultation is which collection best fits your vision, budget, and what you'd love to take home from your session. There's no pressure to decide today. This page is simply here so you can start looking over your options before we chat. If you decide to use one of our in-house payment plans, we'll get everything set up before your session so your image reveal is relaxed and stress-free. We also accept Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay, and PayPal Credit if you'd prefer to finance your purchase through a third party.

Most Wild Moon clients choose between 20–30 images and invest between $3,500–$4,500.

THE COLLECTIONS

Every Wild Moon Collection begins with your professionally edited digital images.

Because your confidence shouldn't live on my computer.

Your digital collection gives you the freedom to relive your session whenever you need it—whether that's on a random Tuesday, before date night, or years from now when you need the reminder that she's still in there.

This purchase is required with every collection.

Every woman is different.

Some want a family heirloom.

Some want a coffee table statement that makes them whisper...

"Holy shit... that's me."

THE FUN ONE

Until they pick it up.

THE DAILY REMINDER

Diamond Block

One image.

Crystal-clear acrylic.

A modern piece of art that catches the light every time you walk by.

Not because you're full of yourself.

Because you've spent enough years forgetting who you are.

This one makes sure you don't.

Once you’ve selected your images, your included digital images will be fully retouched and delivered to you within 7–10 days.

If you decide to purchase additional images or artwork, those will be ordered once your selections and payment are finalized.

If you choose artwork:

Custom products can take approximately 8–10 weeks to produce. Many of our products are handmade and created through professional labs, so please keep that timeline in mind if you have a specific deadline.

And while your digital images are yours to keep, there’s something pretty damn cool about seeing yourself in print.

A photo on your wall. An album you can actually hold. Artwork featuring you that exists outside your camera roll.

Your Creative Session might be over, but I hope this isn’t the last time I see you in the Wild Moon studio.

Thank you for trusting me with this experience and for being part of what’s next for Wild Moon.

Welcome to Wild Moon.

Take a quick look around before your session so you know exactly what to expect when you arrive. You'll see our glam area, client closet, shooting spaces, viewing room, and all the little details that make the studio feel like home.

FAQ

What if I don't know what to wear or how to pose?

Perfect! That's exactly who this experience was designed for. You'll have access to our client closet (XS–6X), and every pose is fully guided from head to toe.

Can I make payments before my session?

Absolutely. Many of our clients choose to make monthly or bi-weekly payments leading up to their session so everything is paid off before they arrive.

When do I choose my images?

Your Creative Session includes 3 digital images, and you’ll choose those during your same-day image reveal.

If you decide you’d like additional images or artwork, you can purchase them during your reveal as well.

Important: Images that are not purchased will not be saved or kept after your reveal, so make sure you choose your favorites while we’re together.

Can I bring someone with me?

Our studio is a private, women-only space, so guests are not permitted during your session. However, you're welcome to bring your spouse or partner to your same-day image reveal with advance notice.

What if I'm nervous?

Perfect. Almost every woman tells me she's nervous before we start, and almost every woman tells me she wishes she'd done it sooner.

READ ME

If you're feeling a few butterflies right now, that's completely normal. Almost every woman who walks through my studio tells me she was nervous beforehand.

But here's the thing—you've already done the hardest part. You said yes to yourself.

From this point on, I've got you. I'll guide you through every step, answer your questions, and make sure you feel completely taken care of before you ever step in front of my camera.

On the morning of your session, take one last look in the mirror and remind yourself:

"I am beautiful. I am worthy. I deserve this experience."

Then come ready to laugh, have fun, and let me show you the version of yourself everyone else already sees.

I can't wait to celebrate you.

xoxo, AJ
